Product description

A brown plastic bottle of the medicine-bottle type with a volume of 500 ml and a black plastic pump make up a ready-to-use set, prepared for filling without searching for a suitable closure. It is intended for liquid and gel cosmetic products used daily at the sink or in the shower and dispensed with one hand without unscrewing.

The PET bottle is lightweight and break-resistant, and the brown tint reduces light transmission. The 500 ml volume is practical for family-size packaging, salon use and for manufacturers who want to offer a larger, economical pack.

What the set offers

Brown PET reduces light – the contents are less exposed to daylight than in a clear bottle, which benefits products with plant extracts, fragrance components and natural colourants. The packaging is not opaque, so the fill level is visible.
Lightweight and durable – a PET bottle is significantly lighter than glass of the same volume and will not break if dropped in the bathroom or shower.
Pump for convenient dispensing – a single press releases a measured dose, the contents do not spill and water from your hands does not get into the bottle, which saves product and reduces the risk of contamination.
Black closure on a brown bottle – the combination looks consistent across various label styles, from minimalist to natural.
Declared for contact with cosmetics – based on the technical documentation, both the bottle and the pump are suitable for cosmetic products; declarations of conformity are available with the product.

What products the set is suitable for

The pump handles liquid to medium-thick contents: liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, body and face lotions, cleansing milks, cleansing gels and massage oils. Thick creams and butters will not pass through a pump with a dip tube, or they dispense unevenly. For those, jars, pots or pumps designed for thick textures are more suitable.

For gel products with a thickener such as Carbomer or xanthan, we recommend testing the dispensing with a few presses before the final filling. If the pump "draws" air or dispenses weakly, the gel is too thick and slightly reducing the thickener concentration will help.

With oil-based products the dispensing is smooth. With pure oils we recommend checking the tightness of the pump head after it has stood for a longer time. The set is most suitable for water-based and emulsion products.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger – the difference provides a reserve for the dip tube and the pump mechanism and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it were filled all the way up to the neck, the contents would be pushed out once the pump was screwed on and there would be a risk of overflowing.

What is good to know when filling and using

PET is not intended for hot filling. Let emulsions, gels and soaps cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle may deform and, as the contents cool, a vacuum forms that pulls the walls inward.

Preparation before first filling – we recommend rinsing and disinfecting both the bottle and the pump with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and letting them dry completely. Rinse the pump's dip tube separately, as it retains water residue.
Essential oils and solvents – PET is stable at common cosmetic concentrations of essential oils. For products with a high proportion of essential oils, limonene or alcohol, we recommend verifying how the packaging behaves in the finished formulation.
Pump dip tube – it is supplied longer than this bottle requires. Once screwed on, it should reach just above the bottom; if it rests against the bottom and bends, shorten it with a sharp knife.
Reuse – both the bottle and the pump can be refilled after thorough cleaning and disinfection. You will find the procedure in the questions below.
Labelling – the straight cylindrical wall is suitable for standard self-adhesive labels as well as for printing. You will find the dimensions for designing a label in the parameters.
Recycling – the bottle is made of PET, the pump of PP. Before disposal, unscrew the pump and sort both parts as plastic.

The brown PET bottle on its own holds certification for direct contact with food. The pump does not have such certification, so the set as a whole is not intended for food or beverages – it is intended for cosmetic products.

Closures with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend verifying the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

Frequently asked questions

Does the brown 500 ml plastic medicine bottle protect the contents from light?

Yes, the brown tint of the PET reduces light transmission and slows changes in fragrance, colour and active ingredients compared with a clear bottle. However, it is not opaque packaging and does not replace protection from direct sunlight. Products with sensitive ingredients should, even in a brown bottle, be stored away from windows and heat sources.

How thick can products be to pass through the pump on the 500 ml plastic medicine bottle?

The pump reliably dispenses liquid and medium-thick products – liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and body lotions. Thick creams, butters and very firm gels will not pass through the dip tube, or they dispense unevenly. Before batch filling, we recommend testing the dispensing with the finished formulation.

Is the plastic medicine bottle with pump set suitable for food?

No, the set as a whole is not approved for contact with food. The brown PET bottle on its own holds certification for direct contact with food; the pump does not. The set is therefore intended for cosmetic products, for which both components are declared suitable.

Can a hot emulsion be filled into the 500 ml plastic medicine bottle?

No, the PET bottle is not intended for hot filling. Let emulsions, gels and soaps cool to room temperature before filling. Hot contents can deform the bottle wall, and as they cool a vacuum forms that pulls the walls inward. With cold filling the bottle is dimensionally stable.

How much product does the pump on the 500 ml medicine bottle release with one press?

One full press releases approximately 1.8 ml of product, which corresponds to a normal dose of liquid soap or shower gel. The actual amount depends on the thickness of the contents – thicker products dispense slightly less. On first use the pump needs to be pressed several times until the dip tube fills.

Can I refill the plastic medicine bottle with pump after it is used up?

Yes, both the bottle and the pump are suitable for reuse. Wash the bottle, disinfect it with alcohol and let it dry. Pump clean water through the pump and then alcohol, so that residues of the original product are removed from the mechanism and the dip tube. When changing the type of product, we recommend checking the seal in the head.
